71C-10DAD · 04-23-2007, 10:05 PM

Saw this as a Burb thread so ....
Mine was free! An older gentleman gave my family a 1989 F##D Crown Vic when our Grand Am blew the motor. I then traded it for my truck Straight across for the car after we got a better family car.

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-23-2007, 10:12 PM

Where to start, I have had like 7 so far in last 5 years

$600 was the cheapest and $10K + shipping was the highest

JHART · 04-23-2007, 10:15 PM

$2k with almost no rust and a new motor.

As everyone here said i stole it!

A.P. · 04-23-2007, 10:17 PM

$3500, in San Jose CA. No rust.

lbpd719 · 04-23-2007, 10:17 PM

mine was free in exchange for some computer work..

**70C10Toejam** · 04-23-2007, 10:18 PM

$1200 with a 5 year old motor (20000 miles on it when I got it)

truknut · 04-23-2007, 10:25 PM

$700 and drove it 2 hours home. After I got home I got scared because of the things that really needed to be fixed before I drove it home. Like: tires, belts, hoses, brakes, a real bad gas leak from hose that goes into tank.

sick69 · 04-23-2007, 10:27 PM

$500.00 plus all the stuff I have collected for it over the years.

tavenner13 · 04-23-2007, 10:28 PM

$5300 + an entire tank of gas on the 120 mile trip home

462 BBC th350 tranny and rust free replacement sheet metal (truck came with replacement fender, doors, and rockers) in the bed!

72armyswbtruck · 04-23-2007, 10:36 PM

Which one,
68 anniversary truck $50 at auction
Current 71GMC 3/4ton 4x4 $500
On average all of mine have cost about $200 or $300 each.

724x4a/cchevy · 04-23-2007, 10:41 PM

$1200 about 5 years ago and it was a piece o' crap

OlChev67 · 04-23-2007, 10:44 PM

$600 The body was straight rusted out rocker panels and an inline 6, with an extra I-6 in the bed along with alot of other crap.

slt0066 · 04-23-2007, 10:48 PM

$1600 for a well disguised not rust free swb stepside

$4500+ in parts to get it were it is today, and still no paint

lesson learned the hard way , priceless!

Seke69 · 04-23-2007, 11:00 PM

mine was $200, 180000mi ? on a 250, free extra 250 with the truck - free rear window (needed) - free new fuel pump - free hole in both sides of the floor pan - free old tires in the bed - pretty much the coolest truck ever.

BB72CHEVKT · 04-23-2007, 11:02 PM

$3500 back in 94 or 95. Got it off 2nd owner with owners manual and protecto plate.

paaw · 04-23-2007, 11:06 PM

$1300 two years ago and drove it seven hours from mississippi

Bus Ted Knuckle · 04-23-2007, 11:19 PM

$300, plus $5 for a replacement title, and another $300 on new rotors, drums, calipers, shoes, pads, lines for the 5 lug disc brake swap. i guess $605 for a truck that I can drive most anywhere.

ND_guy · 04-23-2007, 11:21 PM

$1750 in 2004 now over $7000

msgross · 04-23-2007, 11:24 PM

$1600 on Ebay, now $5,000 to invested (so far) Only had it nine months

1969k10stepside · 04-23-2007, 11:26 PM

Started as a $350 rusty P.O.S. $5000 later,a completely different and rust free body,a totally rebuilt drivetrain,a lift,wheels and tires later...and it almost runs

Now another 5-6 k more in paint and it might be done.

8696steve · 04-23-2007, 11:28 PM

Mine was 4000 and I drove it four hours home. But it is quick becoming the best truck I have owned. I also have a 72 gmc Stepside that I got for 500 and sold for 800.

Shyguy · 04-23-2007, 11:36 PM

Bought my 71 daily driver C-10, 350, 4-speed, 3.73 last August for $600. So far all I have had to do was a tune-up.

Danny -Semo

HugrOrang71 · 04-23-2007, 11:41 PM

My dad passed my 71 down to me when I was 14. He bought it from my uncle in '83 for $1400 with a rebuilt engine.
My uncle bought it when it was only a couple of years old.

71C-10DAD · 04-24-2007, 12:31 AM

falvarez12001 · 04-24-2007, 12:36 AM
